To support the 10th anniversary of LWN.net, the Fedora Project has
purchased 65 subscriptions to be given to Fedora contributors.
The Fedora Board has decided that the fairest way to distribute this
windfall of subscriptions is by holding an open lottery for all Fedora
contributors who have an active account in the Fedora Account System
(as of Feb 1st, 2008). I will be taking requests from all such
interested Fedora contributors for the next week. If you are
interested in making a request, here is what you need to do:
Send an email to: jspaleta(a)fedoraproject.org
Subject: LWN Subscription request
Please include the following:
* Your Fedora Account System username
* Your full name as it appears in the Fedora Account System
* Your LWN account name (you'll need to create an account with LWN
before sending in the request for a subscription)
Please have all requests in by March 1st, 2008.

Hi everybody,
now, I am able to announce the establishment of an Education SIG. I have
created a wiki page, which is currently placed here [1].
Again, I would like to encourage everybody, who is interested in
education to join us on fedora-education-list and to add his or her name
to the list in the wiki.
In the near future, one topic might be, how to go on with educational
work (e.g. in connection with K12LTSP). But this is only one part, so
feel free to join and discuss.
Best Regards,
Sebastian Dziallas

The Fedora Unity Project is proud to announce the release of new ISO Re-Spins (DVD and CD Sets) of Fedora 8. These Re-Spin ISOs are based on the officially released Fedora 8 installation media and include all updates released as of February 4,2008. The ISO images are available for i386 and x86_64 architectures via jigdo starting Thursday, February 7, 2008.
We have included CD Image sets for those in the Fedora community that do not have DVD drives or burners available.
During the Testing phase some of our testers had problems with installing via VNC while others did not have any problems at all.
Please report your results in our bug tracker. http://bugs.fedoraunity.org/spin-bugs/10/
We would like to give a special thanks to the following for testing this respin in 2 days

Fedora Unity has taken up the Re-Spin task to provide the community with the chance to install Fedora with recent updates already included. These updates might otherwise comprise more than 1.33GiB of downloads for a full install. This is a community project, for and by the community. You can contribute to the community by joining our test process.
A full list of bugs, packages and changelogs that have been updated in this Re-Spin can be reviewed on http://spins.fedoraunity.org/changelogs/20080204/
If you are interested in helping with the testing or mirroring efforts, please contact the Fedora Unity team. Contact information is available at http://fedoraunity.org/ or the #fedora-unity channel on the Freenode IRC Network (irc.freenode.net).
Go to http://spins.fedoraunity.org/spins to get the bits!
